MURFREESBORO — The
members of MTSU’s Writers Corps will share their writings with the public in a
special Sept. 11 event.

Participants in the creative writing program for military
veterans and their families will read a collection of their works titled “The
Places Called Home” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, at Reveille Joe’s, 113 N.
Maple St. in Murfreesboro.

“Many of the pieces that will be featured were composed
during a summer writing retreat held on a Middle Tennessee farm in which
members of the group wrote literary pieces that used landscape and nature as a
catalyst for their memories and thoughts,” said Matthew Brown, lecturer in the
MTSU Department of English and founder of Writers Corps.
